Thanksgiving in Miami
I need help! I'll be spending thanksgiving day and weekend in Miami with my cousin and her husband's family and there are three items I'd like to buy but have no clue, and I'm sure they'll have no clue as well, where to buy them so ATTENTION all Christians (or anyone who might know) in Miami where can I get the following:
1. An Electronics Store where I can buy this item
(if it has the shape of a microphone even better :D i.e. 
) ?2. A MUSIC STORE where I can buy CD's by Keith and Kristyn Getty and Sovereign Grace Music?
3. A Christian Book Store where I can buy the ESV Bible study?
This post will be up up until a few days before my trip, I leave november 26th. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Another Slouchy Copy Cat Hat
I casted on 93 stitches this time, and increased the stitches to 135 with a little formula I devised.
(1 + n + 1)/2= X [why not n+2? its the same thing I've just written it that way so you'll know that each 1 is the increase you'll be doing in between stitches]
X being the amount of stitches that you'll be adding to the amount of stitches you already have.
x + n= Y
Y being the total amount of stitches in your needles, knowing this will help you decide how many stitches you want to have and how to get multiples of 5 in order to correctly knit the Faux Cable Eyelet pattern.
Example: (lets use the amount of stitches the pattern calls for: 76)
n=76
(76+2)/2=
78/2= 39
X = 39
X+n=
76+39= 115
Just like the pattern says it will increase to.
In my case I casted on 93 stitches, using the formula I got 141 sts total (140.5) I only wanted 135 sts cause I was in a hurry and had only 1 skein of Cascade 220 (but after I finished the hat I still had some yarn left over, so It think it wouldn't have made much difference had I increased it to 140)
How to avoid having those 6 extra stitches? By skipping an increase stitch every 31 stitches. (thats how many stitches per needle I have)
Sorry about the bad quality pictures, we were on our way to the airport.
